Electric Picnic organisers say microphones wont be switched off if performers make politcal statements this weekend. Kneecap are among the performers on the main stage in Stradbally this weekend, along with Fatboy Slim and Chappell Roan. Melvin Benn from Festival Republic says it was really important for them to add Kneecap to the lineup:"No mics won't be switched off." Advertisement"They're great kids, they're great lads," he said about Kneecap, continuing with "they've got really important songs, they're brilliant live but they've also got really important messages." "So they're on home territory here, and I think they'll be really relaxed and the crowd will be really appreciative of them."
